Photothermal Transport for Guiding Nanoparticles Through the Vitreous Humor

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nanosecond laser irradiation of the clinically approved dye indocyanine green (ICG) enables light‐guided nanoparticle transport within the vitreous humor. The combined use of ICG and pulsed laser illumination induces localized convection and thermophoresis, directing particles toward illuminated regions.

Role of ocular blood flow in normal tension glaucoma

Advances in Ophthalmology Practice and Research, 2022
Background: Normal tension glaucoma (NTG) is a multifactorial disease in the pathogenesis of which intraocular pressure (IOP)-independent factors play a key role. Main text: There is considerable evidence that impairment of the ocular blood flow (OBF) is

A large multi-ethnic genome-wide association study identifies novel genetic loci for intraocular pressure. [PDF]

, 2017
Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor for glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness. IOP heritability has been estimated to up to 67%, and to date only 11 IOP loci have been reported, accounting for 1.5% of IOP variability.

The complexity of dementia development and its comorbidities: The collaborative cross‐mouse population for multivarious tasks approach

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The increasing prevalence of dementia and related neurodegenerative diseases—including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis—poses a growing public health challenge. These conditions have traditionally been studied as isolated central nervous system disorders, but emerging evidence points to ...

Mechanochromic Organic Materials: Molecular Mechanisms and Multidimensional Applications

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
Mechanochromic (MC) organic materials change color in response to mechanical force. This review elucidates the molecular mechanisms (e.g., aggregation‐induced emission, AIE) and explores their multidimensional applications in sensors, anti‐counterfeiting, biomedical devices, and structural health monitoring, providing a roadmap for future smart ...
